WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
“I left on cloud 9! Spending a day with such an amazingly diverse group of peers and learning from the talented and accomplished speakers was awesome. Best professional development day I’ve ever had.”
– Tara Hendricks, VP of Finance & Operations, Talla Inc.
“I had no idea how much I didn’t already know about this field, despite it being so well aligned with my growth aspirations and abilities. Now I’m on the path! I would highly recommend this program for my most talented peers in the technology community that have already found their entrepreneurial side, but are still craving more ways to grow and to give back.”
– Andre Black, Vice President of Products, Allego, Inc.
“The Board-Ready Bootcamp will help you to understand what is expected of a board member, to identify the value you would bring to a board, and insights on how to pursue a board appointment.”
